Juvederm
Juvederm is an injectable gel made from hyaluronic acid that aims to enhance the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. It works by being injected into the skin, where it adds volume and smooths the skin's surface; the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm attracts and retains water at the injection site, providing a temporary plumping effect. Results from the treatment are typically visible immediately and can last for up to two years

JUVÉDERM® injectable gels labeled with "XC" contain pain-reducing lidocaine to help manage pain or discomfort during the injection. We can also use topical and injectable numbing agents prior to treatment.

Do not receive JUVÉDERM® injectable gel fillers if you have a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), or if you are allergic to lidocaine or the proteins (Gram-positive bacterial proteins) used to make hyaluronic acid (HA) in JUVÉDERM® injectable gel fillers. Also use caution if you have an auto-immune disease.

A pillow face is an unnatural appearance caused by too much filler, which can make the face look puffed instead of sculpted. Regularly evaluate and adjust your treatment plan to avoid accumulating excess filler and don’t get touch-ups or add more just because a certain amount of time has passed.
